(a)   The term of this Lease shall be for the period specified as the Term in
      the Basic Lease Provisions commencing on the Commencement Date and
      expiring at the end of such Term (unless sooner terminated pursuant to the
      provisions hereof) specified in the Basic Lease Provisions. Tenant agrees
      to accept possession of the Premises when tendered by Landlord and to open
      for business in the Premises promptly thereafter. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, Tenant's obligation to pay rent hereunder shall commence on the
      earlier of the following dates: (i) The date which is thirty (30) days
      after Certificate of Occupancy has been issued; however, it shall not
      exceed 90 days from the date of notice Landlord gives written notice to
      Tenant that Landlord's work in the Premises as described in Article XVII
      is substantially completed and the Premises are ready for Tenant's work
      and the installation of Tenant's fixtures and equipment; or (ii) the date
      on which Tenant opens for business in the Premises.

(b)   If Landlord is unable, for any reason whatsoever, to deliver possession of
      the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date, with Landlord's work as
      described in Article XVII substantially completed, this Lease shall not be
      void or voidable for a period of six (6) months thereafter, nor shall
      Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom,
      but all rent due hereunder shall abate until Landlord delivers possession
      of the Premises to Tenant. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of
      the Premises to Tenant with Landlord's work substantially completed within
      six (6) months after Commencement Date, this Lease may be canceled by
      either Landlord or Tenant by written notice to the other prior to the date
      possession is delivered to Tenant. If this Lease is canceled under this
      subparagraph, Landlord shall refund any security deposit paid by Tenant
      upon execution of this Lease, but neither party shall have any further
      liability to the other hereunder.

ARTICLE III. RENT

SECTION 3.01 FIXED MINIMUM RENT.

Tenant shall pay the Landlord for each full calendar month during the Lease Term
a Fixed Minimum as stated in the Basic Lease Provisions. Fixed Minimum Rent
shall be payable in advance upon the first day of each calendar month without
any deduction or offset. The Fixed Minimum Rent for any fractional part of a
calendar month at the beginning or end of the Lease Term shall be a
proportionate part of the Fixed Minimum Rent for a full calendar month.

SECTION 3.02 DEFINITION OF LEASE YEAR.

The term "Lease Year" as used herein shall mean each calendar year during the
term of this Lease, except that the first Lease shall commence on the
Commencement Date and the last Lease shall end upon the expiration, or sooner
termination, of this Lease.

SECTION 3.03 ADJUSTMENT TO FIXED MINIMUM RENT.

The Fixed Minimum Rent provided for herein shall be adjusted at the end of the
first, second, and third Lease Year by Three Percent (3%) and (3%) or CPI for
the prior year, in years four and five whichever is greater.

(a)   LATE PAYMENTS. If Tenant fails to pay when the same is due and payable any
      Minimum Annual Rental or Additional Rental, the unpaid amounts shall bear
      interest at the maximum lawful rate from the date due to the date of
      payment. In addition, Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any
      installment of Minimum Annual Rental or Additional Rental will cause
      Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses not contemplated under this
      Lease, the exact amount of which are extremely difficult or impractical to
      fix. These costs and expenses will include, without limitation,
      administrative and collection costs and processing and accounting
      expenses. Therefore, within five (5) days after the installment is due,
      Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to Fifty
      dollars ($50.00) a week for each item of Additional Rental and Minimum
      Annual Rental due. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge
      represents a reasonable estimate of the costs and expenses and is fair
      compensation to Landlord for its loss.

      the Premises are not separately assessed:

      which the gross floor area of the Premises bears to the gross leaseable
      floor area of all improvements within the Shopping Center not separately
      assessed; plus

(e)   That portion of the real property taxes assessed against the improvements
      within the Shopping Center not separately assessed which the valuation

service; provided, however, no such failure or interruption shall entitle Tenant
to terminate this Lease.

<PAGE>

      written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided further, that if
      the nature of Tenant's default is such that more than ten (10) days are
      reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in
      default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said ten-day period and
      thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion; provided further,
      however, Landlord in its sole discretion may require Tenant to deliver a
      bond, deposit hinds or such other form of security device which may be

      days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession
      of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of
      Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to

      judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the
      Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not

SECTION 12.02 REMEDIES.

(a)   In the event of any default by Tenant as defined herein, Landlord may
      exercise the following remedies:

      (1)   With notice or progress of law and using such forces as Landlord may
            reasonably deem necessary under the circumstances, and without
            terminating this Lease or otherwise relieving Tenant of any
            obligation hereunder in the absence of express written notice of
            Landlord's election to do so as set forth herein, Landlord may
            reenter and take possession of the Premises and of all property of
            Tenant located therein may evict Tenant and all other persons in
            occupations thereof and may store all of Tenant's property or the
            property of any other person which is located therein for the
            account of and at the risk of Tenant. Under no circumstances shall
            Landlord be held liable in damages or otherwise by reason of any
            such re-entry or eviction, or by reason of the exercise by Landlord
            of any other remedy provided in this subparagraph. All property of
            Tenant which is stored by Landlord pursuant hereto may be redeemed
            by Tenant within said thirty (30) days after Landlord takes
            possession thereof upon payment to Landlord in hill of all
            obligations then due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder and of all
            costs incurred by Landlord in providing such storage. If Tenant
            fails to redeem such property within thirty (30) days period,
            Landlord may sell such property in any reasonable manner and shall
            apply the proceeds of such sale actually collected against the costs
            of storage and sale and then against any other obligation due from
            Tenant hereunder.

      (2)   Without terminating this Lease or otherwise relieving Tenant of any
            obligation hereunder in the absence of express written notice of
            Landlord's election to do so

                                       12
<PAGE>

            as set forth herein, Landlord may, without being under any
            obligation whatsoever to do so, relet the Premises or any portion
            thereof at any time or from time to time and for such term or terms
            and upon such conditions and at such rental as Landlord in its sole
            discretion deem proper. Whether or not the Premises are relet by
            Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all amounts required to be
            paid by Tenant hereunder up to the date that Landlord terminates
            Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, and thereafter Tenant
            shall pay to Landlord, until the end of the term hereof, the amount
            of rent and additional rent required to be paid by Tenant hereunder.
            Such payments by Tenant shall be due at such times as are provided
            elsewhere in this lease, and Landlord need not wait until the
            termination of this Lease, by expiration of the term hereof or
            otherwise, to recover them by legal action or in any other manner.
            If Landlord relets the Premises or any portion thereof, such
            reletting shall not relieve Tenant of any obligation hereunder,
            except that Landlord shall apply the rent or other proceeds actually
            collected by it as a result of such reletting against any amounts
            due from Tenant hereunder to the extent that such rent or other
            proceeds compensate Landlord for the nonperformance of any
            obligation of Tenant hereunder. Landlord may execute any lease made
            pursuant hereto in its own name, and the Lessee thereunder shall be
            under no obligation to see to the application by Landlord of any
            rent or other proceeds by Landlord, nor shall Tenant have any right
            to collect any such rent or other proceeds. Landlord shall not by
            any re-entry of other acts be deemed to have otherwise terminated
            this Lease, or to have relieved Tenant of any obligation hereunder,
            unless Landlord shall have given Tenant express written notice of
            Landlord's election to do so as set for herein.

      (3)   Landlord may terminate or otherwise effect a forfeiture of this
            Lease by express written notice to Tenant of its election to do so.
            Such termination or forfeiture shall not relieve Tenant of any
            obligation hereunder which has accrued prior to the date of such
            termination or forfeiture. The amount of damages which Landlord may
            recover following such termination shall include the worth at the
            time of award of the amount of this Lease after the time of award
            exceeds the amount of such rental loss for such period Tenant proves
            could be reasonably avoided.

      (4)   Landlord may recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord
            upon demand, such expenses as Landlord may incur in recovering
            possession of the Premises, placing the same in good order and
            condition and altering or repairing the same for reletting, as well
            as all other expenses, commissions and charges incurred by Landlord
            in exercising any remedy provided herein or as a result of any
            default by Tenant hereunder.

      (5)   Landlord may exercise any other remedy or right now or hereafter
            available to a landlord against a defaulting tenant under the law of
            the State of Nevada and not otherwise specifically reserved herein.

                                       13
<PAGE>

(b)   Landlord shall be under no obligation to observe or perform any covenant
      of this Lease on its part to be observed or performed which accrues after
      the date of any default by Tenant hereunder.

(c)   In any action of unlawful detainer commenced by Landlord against Tenant by
      reason of any default hereunder, the reasonable rental value of the
      Premises for the period of the unlawful detainer shall be deemed to be the
      amount of rent and additional rent reserved in this Lease for the same
      period, unless Landlord or Tenant shall prove to the contrary by competent
      evidence.

(d)   Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture, in
      the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises
      by reason of any default by Tenant hereunder.

(e)   The various rights and remedies reserved to Landlord herein, including
      those not specifically described herein, shall be cumulative and, except
      as otherwise provided by Nevada statutory law in force and effect at the
      time of the execution hereof, Landlord may pursue any or all of such
      rights and remedies, whether at the same time or otherwise.

(f)   No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or remedy shall be
      construed as a waiver of any such right or remedy or any default by Tenant
      hereunder.

SECTION 12.03 DETERMINATION OF RENT.

For the purposes of the Article XII, the rent due for any calendar month after
re-entry by Landlord shall be deemed to be the average monthly rent, including
any Percentage Rent and/or additional rent applicable, which shall have been
payable for the term of this Lease prior to such re-entry.

SECTION 12.04 DEFAULT BY LANDLORD.

Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any
obligation required to be performed by it hereunder unless and until it has
failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice
by Tenant to Landlord specifying wherein

Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the
nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are
required for its performance then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default
if it shall commence such performance within such thirty day period and
thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion.

SECTION 12.05 TENANT REMEDIES.

In the event of any default by Landlord as defined herein, Landlord shall be
responsible to Tenant for any and all damages sustained by Tenant as a result of
Landlord's breach; further; after such notice Tenant shall have the right to
cure such default at Landlord's expense including in such expenditure all costs
and attorneys' fees incurred to cure such default or breach of Lease. Tenant
shall have no right to terminate this Lease except as herein otherwise
specifically provided.

                                       14
<PAGE>

SECTION 12.06 EXPENSE OF LITIGATION.

If either party incurs any expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in
connection with any action or proceeding instituted by either party by reason of
default of the other party hereunder, or pursuant to the provisions of this
Lease, the party prevailing in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to
recover its said reasonable expenses from the other party.

ARTICLE XIII. COMMON AREAS

now or hereafter held for lease or occupation by Landlord or used by other

areas and improvements provided by Landlord for the common use of Landlord and
Tenants and their respective employees and invitees, shall be deemed "common

by Landlord from time to time to use such areas, subject to such reasonable

      of Landlord, shall restrain such unauthorized use by appropriate
      proceedings. Nothing therein shall effect the right of

                                       15

      of the Premises and Tenant shall thereafter notify Landlord of any change
      in the list within five (5) days after such change occurs upon Landlord's

      written estimate of Tenant's share of such common area costs for the
      ensuing Lease Year. Tenant shall pay such estimated amount to Landlord in
      equal monthly installments, in advance. Within ninety (90) days after the
      end of each Lease Year, Landlord shall furnish the Tenant a statement
      showing in reasonable detail the cost and expenses incurred by Landlord
      for the operation and maintenance of the common areas during such Lease
      Year, and the parties shall promptly make any payment or allowance

ARTICLE XV. SECURITY DEPOSIT

Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum of (I) months' Fixed Minimum Rent as
security for the full and faithful performance of every provision of this Lease
to be performed by Tenant. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of

rent or other sum in default, or for the payment of any other amount which
Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's default,
or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer
by reasons of Tenant's default. If any portion of said deposit is so used or
applied, Tenant shall within five (5) days after written demand therefor deposit
cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to
its original amount and Tenant's failure to do so shall be an event of default
under this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep this security separate

deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this
Lease to be performed by it, the security deposit or any balance thereof shall

Tenant's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the Lease Term.

      nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so

<PAGE>

      any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises or of all or any
      portion of the real property of which the Premises are a part.

      conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect,
      without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that
      there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance and (iii) that not
      more than one month's Fixed Minimum Rent has been paid in advance.

Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder which is not paid when due

                (b)   If Landlord's notice indicates that Landlord does not
                      intend to restore the Building and Premises, this Lease

                      giving Landlord written notice within ten (10) days of

                      an additional option to cancel this Lease by giving
                      Landlord written notice within ten (10) days.

                      with the restoration and Tenant's rent shall remain abated
                      until Premises shall again be Tenantable, however, if the

AS TO
ARTICLE XI:     Interruption or curtailment of any service maintained in the
                Building, if caused by strikes, mechanical difficulties, or any
                causes beyond Landlord's control whether similar or dissimilar
                to those enumerated, shall not entitle Tenant to any claim
                against Landlord or to any abatement in rent, nor shall the same
                constitute constructive or partial eviction, unless Landlord
                fails to take such measures as may be reasonable in the
                circumstances to restore the service without undue delay. If the
                Leased Premises are rendered untenantable in whole or part, for
                a period of over three (3) business days, by making of repairs,
                replacements or additions, other than those made with Tenant's
                consent or caused by misuse or neglect by Tenant or Tenant's
                employee's agents, servants, visitors or licensees, there shall
                be a proportionate abatement of rent during the period of such

                this Lease unless and until Landlord shall have given to Tenant
                written notice of such default and unless Tenant shall have
                failed to remedy such default within fifteen (15) days or, if
                the nature of the default is such that it cannot reasonably be
                cured or remedied within fifteen (15) days, within such time as
                is reasonably necessary to remedy such default after receipt of
                such notice. Nothing in this Lease will be construed to give
                Landlord the right to possession of any of Tenant's records,
                files, business records or customer names or records. Tenant
                shall have the right to vacate the Leased Premises without being
                in default of this Lease, provided Tenant continues to otherwise

                      specifically provided in the Lease.

                If Landlord makes a major change in the Building or the garage,

                Landlord agrees that the estimated Building Operating Costs paid
                by Tenant in any calendar year shall not exceed the previous
                year's actual Building Operating Costs by more than five percent
                (5%).

                If Tenant wishes to dispute the determination of Building
                Operating Costs listed herein or the calculation of any amount
                payable hereunder, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of
                such dispute within three (3) months after the receipt of notice
                from Landlord of the matter giving rise to the dispute. If
                Tenant does not give Landlord such notice within such time,
                Tenant shall waive its right to dispute such determination or
                calculation. Promptly after the giving of such written notice,
                Landlord shall meet with Tenant in an attempt to reconcile any
                outstanding disputes. If such efforts do not succeed, Landlord
                shall cause to be made a complete audit of Landlord's records
                relating to the matter in dispute by a nationally recognized
                firm of independent certified accountants to be mutually
                selected by Landlord and Tenant. The cost of such audit shall be
                borne by Tenant unless such audit discloses an error that favors
                Landlord, in which event Landlord shall bear the cost of such
                audit. If such audit reveals that the amount previously
                determined by Landlord was incorrect, a correction shall be made
                and either Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant any
                overpayment or Tenant shall pay any underpayment to Landlord.
                Not withstanding the pendency of any dispute hereunder. Tenant
                shall make payments based upon Landlord's determination or
                calculation until such determination or calculation has been
                established hereunder to be incorrect.

AS TO
ARTICLE XI:     Landlord agrees that it will not name said Building or allow
                identification signs to be placed so as to identify the Building
                as being owned or occupied by any particular competitor of
                Tenant; however, nothing shall be deemed to preclude
                identification signs of Tenant being placed on the Building,
                subject to Landlord's approval. In the event that any other
                Tenant other than a competitor of Tenant is granted permission
                to place an identification sign on (or around) the Building,
                then Tenant herein shall also be granted the right to place a
                similar identification sign on (or around) the Building. Tenant
                shall have the right to locate their operating name on
                Landlord's 20 x 44 billboard for a one time payment of $9,800
                and a $100 monthly fee, per Exhibit "D".

AS TO
ARTICLE XVI:    Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of written
                notice from Landlord, execute and deliver an estoppel
                certificate certifying, if true, that; (a) the Lease is in full
                force and effect and has not been modified or amended (or if
                modified or amended, describing the same); (b) the date Tenant
                accepted occupancy of the Premises; (c) the date to which Rent
                has been paid; (d) to the best of Tenant's knowledge and belief
                and without due diligence investigation, the defenses or offsets
                thereto or defaults of Landlord under the Lease (or if none be
                claimed, stating that fact); and (e) such other matters as
                Landlord may reasonably request.

                rights as set forth in this Lease, for the term hereof without
                interference by Landlord or any person claiming by, through, or
                under Landlord. Should Tenant be dispossessed from the Premises
                or denied its other rights, as set forth in this Lease, by

                after the date of such dispossession and all Rent that may have
                been prepaid for any period of time during which Tenant is
                deprived of its peaceful possession by reason of such
                dispossession, shall be returned to Tenant forthwith; however,
                Landlord shall not be relieved of liability to Tenant for
                damages sustained by Tenant due to such dispossession.

                6.17 In the event Tenant shall be delayed in surrendering
                possession, Landlord consents to the holding over by Tenant for
                not more than three (3) additional months, under the same terms,
                covenants and conditions, at the same monthly rental. Any
                additional holding over, with the consent of Landlord, shall be
                from month-to-month at a rate not to exceed 125% of the base
                rent payable immediately preceding the termination date of this
                Lease and either party may cancel such tenancy upon thirty (30)
                days written notice to the other. In no event shall Tenant be
                responsible for any consequential damages incurred by Landlord
                in the event Tenant shall be delayed in surrendering possession.
